well yes... my main man Makoto Oshima did a great job with the styling, who of course took design cues from my other main man Kunihiro Uchida

and in one fell swoop someone can slap some unnecessarily big shiny wheels on and throw off all their hard work lol

Stroock639- It's personal preference. If they're ugly then why they made it through production? See.
Btw, I think yours is pretty ugly. It looks like the copy cat of the old Benz's wheels. I think that's why you went back to the old OEM's. Admit it.

so because something made it into production, it must be good looking? the Nissan Juke made it into production you know...

look don't worry I won't lose sleep over this lol, I just like to give people a hard time who do things I feel are disrespectful to the LS haha... and the wheels I got are genuine Toyota wheels that were actually once on a 04-06 LS, not some blingy aftermarket donk wheels

and the LS 400 styling is sort of a benz copy already, so it's fitting that someone put benz looking wheels on it haha

I had a good laugh reading your comment. The AMC Gremlin & Pontiac Aztek, etc... were pretty ugly too. What were they thinking when they approved the designs & pushed them through production. Oh well, live & learn.

Now that you mention it, those wheels would look great on an Aztek.

BTW, I like the wheels.
